Change History (13)

Hm, there is no download box showing up for me. The document loads directly in the pdf viewer. Do you have a particular file causing this (maybe one I could download and then load from the desktop)?

Note as well, the alpha and the stable are basically identical at this time apart from a Windows related patch being in the alpha series but not the stable one. So, that issue should happen on stable as well...

I could no longer reproduce the issue when I re-installed the Tor Browser, which is strange considering that I had already gpg authenticated (as I always do) the previous installation on which this problem occurred.

Also note that it happened with ALL pdf files that I tried, not just a particular one. Furthermore, when normally loading pdfs from a site it would show up in pdf.js, but when I tested it started showing me the download box instead.

Ok, found a way to replicate the issue, if you set pdfjs.disabled to true and repeat the steps in the OP you get it to crash. (Not however that I didn't modify this pref when I first encountered this problem, it was a standard install of the Tor Browser and for some reason pdfjs didn't work as I explained in #comment2)

Haven't tested on 7.0.1 but it may likely be affected as well.

Yeah, I just found out the same: Going to about:preferences#applications and setting the pdf option to "Always ask" AND being in e10s mode reproduces the issue for me.

Now, not sure what disabled your pdf viewer, though. The standard install comes with it enabled and we did not change that over the years.
